Tony Kanaan had the fastest lap during the final practice for the Indianapolis 500, while Team Penske barely managed to crack the top 10 with defending race winner Will Power leading the way.

Kanaan drives for A.J. Foyt Enterprises.

Rookie driver Santino Ferrucci was second fastest for Dale Coyne Racing, and former race winner Takuma Sato was third fastest in his Honda for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.

Chevy led the way behind Kanaan, but the next six cars were carrying Honda power.

Pole sitter Simon Pagenaud was 22nd on the speed chart, though it’s hard to distinguish who was in traffic and who was in open air. Pagenaud still sounded confident in his ride for Sunday.

IndyCar has announced that it will use an “Aeroscreen” developed by Red Bull Advanced Technologies for cockpit protection beginning next season.

The safety piece will virtually cover the open-air cockpit with a clear screen anchored by and on a titanium framework. Its purpose is to protect drivers from flying debris.

Justin Wilson died in 2015 when a piece of debris struck his helmet during a race at Pocono.

IndyCar has tested various windscreen concepts, including one by PPG Aerospace that drivers used in tests last year. Although the drivers who tested the windscreen did not report any issues, comprehensive testing at PPG’s facility in Alabama showed more work was needed before implementation.

IndyCar was able to take that research to give Red Bull additional data and information for development of the current design.
